Check torque on all fasteners, including upper control arms that have heat shields you have to mess with to get to. My front lower control arms at the frame side have to be torqued like every 30-60 days for some reason. I found bad rod ends on the OEM track bar and drag link. Ball joints...
I would not go Ready Lift personally. The rear uses a spacer instead of springs, it doesn't come with a rear track bar, and the control arms are not adjustable. I have (had?) this lift that was installed by the dealer. I replaced the springs and got rid of the spacers. Replaced rear and...
I got tires at Costco once. Once. They fought me because the tire size wasn't listed on the door. I'm not arguing with a Costco tire tech about what I do with my vehicle. Go to Discount. They know what they are doing and will price match Costco or anyone else.
I have the same intermittent issue that just started. Started after I did ball joints a month ago and only starts up after flexing out when wheeling. It absolutely appears to be related to the wheel speed sensor. When I mess with the wire for the WSS on drivers front it goes away. I will be...
I could be wrong, but if you had chewed wires already, I will bet you find another one or two. This is coming from someone that has now dealt with 12 damned rodent attacks in the last 3 years. Every time I think I have checked everywhere, I eventually fine the missing one. I have repaired...
Tell me which manufacturers haven't had issues.
Edit: Toyotas from that age range had a recall to replace the frames that were made of cheap steel and rusted to nothing. That's not as bad as a hard top crack?
Don't think so. Mine bent slowly over a few trips and I have no damage on the link ends. Stock vehicles a) flex less and b) are less likely to be driving harder trails. I added the MC bracket. The stock mount is stupid. Bent and tack welded mount that holds a rivnut is about the worst...
